Description

Input circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to the input circuit in semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically relate to the improvement of the supply voltage characteristic of the input circuit of band magnetic hysteresis (hysteresis) characteristic.
Background technology
Traditional input circuit (with reference to patent documentation 1) with hysteresis characteristic is described.
Figure 14 is the circuit diagram of the input circuit representing traditional band hysteresis characteristic.When the input voltage VIN of input terminal 401 is transitioned into low level from high level, the PMOS transistor 803 of magnetic hysteresis generation is ended.Thus, the threshold voltage of inverter circuit is determined by the ratio of the conducting resistance of PMOS transistor 801 and nmos pass transistor 901.When input voltage VIN is transitioned into high level from low level, PMOS transistor 803 conducting of magnetic hysteresis generation.Therefore, the conducting resistance of PMOS transistor 801 side correspondingly diminishes than nmos pass transistor 901 side.Thus, the threshold voltage of inverter circuit is determined by the ratio of the conducting resistance of 2 PMOS transistor 801 and 803 and nmos pass transistor 901.Thus, the threshold value of inverter circuit is when input voltage VIN is transitioned into high level from low level, and input voltage VIN is than rising when being transitioned into low level from high level.That is, the threshold value of inverter circuit has hysteresis characteristic.
In addition, Figure 15 is the circuit diagram of other example of the input circuit representing conventional belt hysteresis characteristic.When input voltage VIN is transitioned into high level from low level, PMOS transistor 804 with become conducting state and link, the PMOS transistor 805 of switch becomes cut-off state, therefore compared with the circuit of Figure 14, can reduce current sinking during switch.
Patent documentation 1: Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 10-229331 publication
But in the conventional technology, as described below, supply voltage correlation is embodied in hysteresis voltage or response speed.
First, the input circuit of the band hysteresis characteristic of Figure 15 is described.When making input voltage VIN be transitioned into high level from low level under low supply voltage condition, input voltage VIN is from the threshold voltage of low level close to circuit.Between the gate/source of then PMOS transistor 801 and 804, voltage is less than transistor threshold.At this moment, owing to entering weak anti-phase region, so conducting resistance can increase than during high power supply voltage.Therefore, under low supply voltage condition, hysteresis voltage can diminish.In addition, in order to increase hysteresis voltage during low supply voltage, increase the ratio of conducting resistance relative to the conducting resistance of PMOS transistor 801 side of nmos pass transistor 901 side, when supply voltage is higher, the threshold value of circuit will raise like this, and can not accept the less input signal of the amplitude of oscillation.Further, along with the increase of the conducting resistance of nmos pass transistor 901, response speed at low supply voltages also can decline.
Then, the input circuit of the band hysteresis characteristic of Figure 14 is described.When making input voltage VIN be transitioned into high level from low level under low supply voltage condition, between the gate/source of PMOS transistor 801, voltage is less than threshold value and enters weak anti-phase region.Like this, conducting resistance can than becoming large during high power supply voltage.But before the lead-out terminal 402 of circuit is reversed to high level, between the gate/source of PMOS transistor 803, voltage is equal with supply voltage.Therefore, the conducting resistance of the PMOS transistor 803 when input voltage VIN is transitioned into high level from low level, when supply voltage is more than transistor threshold, almost uncorrelated with supply voltage.Further, under low supply voltage condition, can see that the impact of the current driving ability of PMOS transistor 803 is comparatively large, therefore the conducting resistance of PMOS transistor side diminishes.Like this, under low supply voltage condition, hysteresis voltage becomes large.As mentioned above, when the threshold value of circuit raises, the input signal that the amplitude of oscillation is less can not be accepted.Further, can not be too high if be designed to circuit threshold value under low supply voltage condition, then PMOS transistor 801 is at the Near Threshold of circuit, and under the such supply voltage condition of strong anti-phase region action, hysteresis voltage can diminish.In addition, under low supply voltage condition, the current driving ability of nmos pass transistor 901 pair pmos transistor side is less, and the response speed therefore under low supply voltage condition can decline.

The source electrode of PMOS transistor 101,102 and 104 is connected with VDD, and the source electrode of nmos pass transistor 201 is connected with VSS.The grid of PMOS transistor 101 and nmos pass transistor 201 is all connected with input terminal 401, and drain electrode is all connected with node N1.The input of inverter 501 is connected with node N1, and output is connected with lead-out terminal 402.The grid of PMOS transistor 102 is connected with input terminal 401, and drain electrode is connected with node N2.The grid of PMOS transistor 103 is connected with lead-out terminal 402, and source electrode is connected with node N2, and drain electrode is connected with node N1.PMOS transistor 103 is located between node N1 and node N2 as blocking unit.The grid of PMOS transistor 104 is connected with lead-out terminal 402, and drain electrode is connected with node N1.PMOS transistor 101 and nmos pass transistor 201 form inverter circuit.
In addition, although not illustrated, the back grid of PMOS transistor 101 ~ 104 is connected with VDD or the current potential higher than source potential, and the back grid of nmos pass transistor 201 is connected with VSS or the current potential lower than source potential.
Then, the action with the input circuit of hysteresis characteristic of present embodiment is described.
When the input voltage VIN of input terminal 401 is transitioned into low level from high level, the voltage of lead-out terminal 402 was high level be less than the threshold value of whole circuit in input voltage VIN before.Therefore, PMOS transistor 103 and 104 is in cut-off state.Then, when input voltage VIN is less than the threshold value of the circuit be made up of PMOS transistor 101 and nmos pass transistor 201, node N1 is transitioned into high level, and lead-out terminal 402 is transitioned into low level from high level.That is, the threshold value of whole circuit is determined by the threshold value of circuit be made up of PMOS transistor 101 and nmos pass transistor 201, and this value is determined by the ratio of the conducting resistance of PMOS transistor 101 and nmos pass transistor 201.
When input voltage VIN is transitioned into high level from low level, the voltage of lead-out terminal 402 was low level exceed the threshold value of whole circuit in input voltage VIN before, and PMOS transistor 103 and 104 is in conducting state.Therefore, compared with when being transitioned into low level with input from high level, the conducting resistance of PMOS transistor 101 side only reduces the amount being equivalent to PMOS transistor 102 and 104.Like this, the threshold value of whole circuit rises, and input circuit has hysteresis characteristic.
At this, from the circuit diagram of Fig. 1 except PMOS transistor 104, and the structure be made up of PMOS transistor 101 ~ 103, nmos pass transistor 201, inverter 501 is utilized to consider supply voltage correlation.At low supply voltages input voltage VIN from low level close to threshold voltage time, PMOS transistor 101 and 102 enters weak anti-phase region.The conducting resistance of PMOS transistor 101 and 102 at this moment, namely can become large than input voltage VIN near threshold voltage when the high power supply voltage of strong anti-phase region action.Therefore, under low supply voltage condition, hysteresis voltage diminishes.
Then, from the circuit diagram of Fig. 1 except PMOS transistor 102 and 103, and the structure be made up of PMOS transistor 101 and 104, nmos pass transistor 201, inverter 501 is utilized to consider supply voltage correlation.As mentioned above, under low supply voltage condition, when input voltage VIN is from the threshold voltage of low level close to circuit, PMOS transistor 101 and 104 enters weak anti-phase region, and conducting resistance can than also large under high power supply voltage condition.At this, between the gate/source of PMOS transistor 104, voltage is equal with supply voltage before lead-out terminal 402 is reversed to high level.Therefore, when supply voltage is more than the transistor threshold of PMOS transistor 104, the conducting resistance of PMOS transistor 104 is relevant to supply voltage hardly.In addition, supply voltage is less, and the impact of the current driving ability of PMOS transistor 104 is larger, and the conducting resistance of PMOS transistor side diminishes.Therefore, under low supply voltage condition, hysteresis voltage becomes large.
The input circuit of present embodiment, by arranging 2 circuit, can guarantee that under low supply voltage condition the hysteresis voltage of the circuit working making PMOS transistor 101,104 and inverter 501 is comparatively large, and under high power supply voltage condition, also can guarantee to make the hysteresis voltage of the circuit working of PMOS transistor 101 ~ 103 and inverter 501 larger.So, the supply voltage correlation of hysteresis voltage can be cushioned.Therefore, when high power supply voltage without the need to increasing the current driving ability of PMOS transistor 102, and the current driving ability of PMOS transistor 102 can be reduced.In addition, current sinking during switch can also be reduced.And owing to can reduce the ratio of PMOS transistor 102 relative to the current driving ability of nmos pass transistor 201, when low supply voltage, the response speed from input low level to high level can not reduce.
As described above, according to the input circuit with hysteresis characteristic of the first execution mode, the supply voltage correlation of hysteresis voltage or response speed can be cushioned, and action can be carried out under the supply voltage condition of wide region.In addition, current sinking during switch can be reduced without the need to increasing circuit scale.

When input voltage VIN is transitioned into low level from high level, the voltage of lead-out terminal 402 was high level be less than the threshold value of whole circuit in input voltage VIN before.Therefore, nmos pass transistor 203 and 204 becomes conducting state.Therefore, compared with when being transitioned into high level with input from low level, the conducting resistance of nmos pass transistor 201 side only reduces the amount being equivalent to nmos pass transistor 202 and 204.Like this, the threshold value of whole circuit rises, and input circuit has hysteresis characteristic.
At this, from the circuit diagram of Fig. 3 except nmos pass transistor 204, the structure be made up of nmos pass transistor 201 ~ 203, PMOS transistor 101, inverter 501 is utilized to consider supply voltage correlation.At low supply voltages input voltage VIN from high level close to threshold voltage time, nmos pass transistor 201 and 202 enters weak anti-phase region.The conducting resistance of nmos pass transistor 201 and 202 at this moment can than input voltage VIN near threshold voltage namely in strong anti-phase region action time large.Therefore, under low supply voltage condition, hysteresis voltage diminishes.
Then, from the circuit diagram of Fig. 3 except nmos pass transistor 202 and 203, and the structure be made up of nmos pass transistor 201 and 204, PMOS transistor 101, inverter 501 is utilized to consider supply voltage correlation.As mentioned above, nmos pass transistor 201 and 204, under low supply voltage condition, when input voltage VIN is from the threshold voltage of high level close to circuit, enters weak anti-phase region, and conducting resistance can than also large under high power supply voltage condition.At this, between the gate/source of nmos pass transistor 204, voltage is equal with supply voltage before lead-out terminal 402 is reversed to low level.Therefore, when supply voltage is more than the transistor threshold of nmos pass transistor 204, the conducting resistance of nmos pass transistor 204 is almost uncorrelated with supply voltage.In addition, supply voltage is less, and the impact of the current driving ability of nmos pass transistor 204 is larger, and the conducting resistance of nmos pass transistor side can be less.Therefore, under low supply voltage condition, hysteresis voltage becomes large.
The input circuit of present embodiment, by arranging 2 circuit, can guarantee that under low supply voltage condition the hysteresis voltage of the circuit working making nmos pass transistor 201,204 and inverter 501 is comparatively large, and it is larger to guarantee to make the hysteresis voltage of the circuit working of nmos pass transistor 201 ~ 203 and inverter 501 under high power supply voltage condition.Like this, the supply voltage correlation of hysteresis voltage can be cushioned.Therefore, when high power supply voltage without the need to increasing the current driving ability of nmos pass transistor 202, and the current driving ability of nmos pass transistor 202 can be reduced.Therefore, it is possible to current sinking when reducing switch.And can make smaller relative to the current driving ability of PMOS transistor 101 of nmos pass transistor 202, therefore when low supply voltage, the response speed from input low level to high level can not decline.
